WHAT TO EXPECT
AT FIREBIRD COLLISION

No surprises. No guessing. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you bring your vehicle in to the moment you drive away.

STEP 01

Free Estimate & Documentation

⏱ 30–60 minutes

Your vehicle is thoroughly inspected by our estimating team. We document every piece of damage — visible and structural — using our professional CCC ONE estimating system. You receive a written estimate with a full breakdown of parts and labor. If you're filing an insurance claim, we submit the estimate directly to your adjuster.

STEP 02

Parts Ordering & Scheduling

⏱ 1–3 business days

Once your claim is approved (or you approve the estimate for out-of-pocket repairs), we order all required parts. We prioritize OEM parts for the best fit and finish. Your repair start date is scheduled based on parts availability and our current workflow.

STEP 03

Disassembly & Damage Assessment

⏱ Day 1 of repair

We carefully disassemble all damaged areas to fully expose the extent of damage. Hidden damage — often invisible from the outside — is documented and photographed. If additional damage is found, we submit a supplement to your insurance company before proceeding. No additional work is done without your authorization.

STEP 04

Structural & Body Repair

⏱ 1–5 days depending on damage

Our technicians repair or replace all damaged structural and body components. Frame straightening is performed using computerized measuring systems to restore factory specifications. Panels are repaired or replaced, and all metal work is completed to the highest standard before moving to paint preparation.

STEP 05

Paint Preparation & Application

⏱ 1–3 days

Paint preparation is one of the most critical phases. All repaired surfaces are sanded, primed, and sealed. Adjacent panels are masked to protect undamaged areas. Our computer-matched paint system ensures your color matches perfectly — accounting for any natural fading of your existing paint. Base coat and clear coat are applied in our controlled paint environment.

Reassembly & Quality Inspection

⏱ 1 day

All components are reassembled and every system affected by the repair is checked. Panel gaps, paint finish, mechanical components, and electrical systems are all inspected. We perform a final detail — your vehicle is cleaned inside and out before delivery.
